to wind IL. Its hole win contain the end
of your little finger and 1t IL big enough
to lock . church.
Both parlor and dining room are fur
nished in this rare old way. The mahog-
any table was used by Palmer's mother
when she began housekeeping, and the
mahogany sideboard formed q part Of the
same set of furniture. In both parlor
and dining room stand old four poster
bedsteads which have been in the family
for . generation or SO, and these are shut
of from the rest Of the room by screens.
They are not used except when there Is q
house full Of guests, which is, by the way,
very often, for Senator Palmer il the
prince of good fellows, and it is o part of
his religion to love his fellow man. He
believes, with Marcus Aurelius, that mans
social duties are among his greatest on,s,
and he Is happy in having his friends visit
him. He has up stairs q number of large
chambers, either four or five, and these
are furnished in this same comfortable
pioneer style. The linen looks as though
1t had been woven by hand, the quilts are
of old patterns Of patchwork or weaving,
and even the china chamber ware dates
back to the patterns Of colonial days. One
needs step to get up to some of the high
old beds, but they sleep comfortably, and
Morpheus greets you with the smell of the
woods, and leaves you in the morning to
listen to the warbling Of the thousand
birds Of the forests outside.
Each OF these upstairs windows gives
you pretty views. The rule Of the house
Is to do as you please, to sleep as long as
you wish, and 60 tn breakfast when you
choose. There are no early hours in the.
log cabin, and its philosophy is to take
life easy and to enjoy nature with all
modern conveniences. There is no dress
parade, as at Abe Hewitt's country home,
and the dinner is called with u long tin
horn, which blows blast like that Of
trumpet. The cooking is the same which
has made SO noted Senator Palmer's
Washington dinners, and the Jersey but
ter is from Palmer's own cows, though
his manager tells me it costs him several
dollars pound to produce it.
This, however, does not bother Senator
Palmer. He is one Of the few rich men I
know who arc not bossed by their money.
His fortune is his tool and not his master,
and he thinks money getting pure and
simple not ennobling occupation. While
making his millions he has found time to
keep up with the literature Of the day,
and he has one Of the youngest hearts
among the statesmen who hold down the
senatorial chairs. He is one Of those men
who have learned the philosophy of grow
Ing younger as their years grow older by
throwing OF care, for, to quote:
Every care to our coffin adds nail, no doubt.
And every grin, 20 merry, draws one out

mony with its pioneer design, and its fur.
niture is made up Of pieces old and rare.
There IL scarcely anything that has not
been In use for more than 1fty years, and
every piece Of furniture has its family as
sociations. Pictures Of Senator Palmer's
ancestors hang upon the plastered walls;
his favorite chairs are the high backed
rockers in which his grandfather and his
grandmother used to sit, and he prizes
most highly the cradle in which all his
grandfather's children and grandchildren
were rocked, and in which he uttered his
FIRST baby cry This cradle is of black
walnut, highly polished and elegantly
carved, and it looks prettier today than
when it was first made. Beside it stands
the high chair which Palmer sat in ut the
table, and near by little rocker just
large enough for 2-year-old child. l

pair Of pantaloons-cute little panties Of

THE HALL,

The interior Of this log cabin 10 finished
In old oak, highly polished, and its walls
nre soft plaster colored gray. The CELL
ings are very high, and there is an air Of
generous roominess about the whole. The
wide front doors, which noiselessly swing
on hinges OF brass lead into a central
hall, at the back Of which flight Of easy
stairs asccnds by landings to the second
story. Looking out of these . high old
Dutch clock ticks out welcome, and the
big fire places in the great rooms at each
side seem to invite you to enter The
solid comforts of our forefathers lie all
around you. Rag carpet rugs In the pref
test OF patterns are upon the polished
floors, old mahogany chairs and sofas in
vite you to rest, and upon the table in the
hall is an old fashioned pitcher which ia
always full of lemonade.
The hall is n parlor in itself, and It
forms n good loafing place The parlor is
and its ceiling, like that OF the other
rooms, is crossed with bars OF wood, from
which hang down skeins Of bright colored
yarn, punches Of bonesct, pennyroyal and
other herbs; ears of corn in white, gold
and red colored grains; strings Of shriv-
eled dried spples and strips Of white
pumpkin. These form a combination Of
color which relieves the gray plaster, and
which makes tho ceiling decoration much
prettier than If it were the work Of the
modern frescoer or paper hanger.
At the foot Of the stairs stands . great
spinning wheel, and beside it one OF the
first fire buckets used in Detroit. Over
head is an old fashioned lantern, and near
by Is cabinet or buffet, filled with rare
pieces Of blue china and other bric-a -brac
The most curious thing about this cabinet
Is the glass doors, which came from the
old home in Connecticut where Palmer's
grandfathers lived. He visited it at the
time of Grants death, and his farm man.

things" and imagine he intends it as o
parody On the high sounding titles Of the
homes Of our rich men of today
The whole place is full Of such illusions
aud pretty bits of senatorial fancy. Tho
ground itself has been in Senator Palmer's
family since the government decided it to
his grandfather. The blooded stock of
COWS and horses upon it comes from some
that he picked out himself in France and
England, and the trees which form an
avenue, leading by the porter's lodge and
across the rustic bridge to the log house
rave been planted by his senatorial WISH
tors, each United States senator adding a
new tree to the row when he visits the log
house.
''The log house itself Is the triumph of
pioneer architecture, md 1t brings back"
says the senator ironically, "the sufrerngs
and discomforts Of our forefathers." 1t
cost, the senator's manager tells me, more
than BIZ, 900 to build, and its surroundings
show what nature will do when cult
vated with golden spade. The artificial
lake at the foot Of its grassy lawn was
dug out with pick and shovel, and the
clear spring water which winds in and out
of its borders, mirroring the vegetation
along the banks in their CLASSY depths,
2urgles mclOdiously as it pours over the
rocks OF its waterfall rs mountain brook.
Its music is not marred by tine fact that .
steam engine In the background Is kept
continually going to pump the water which
makes the stream, and the island in its
center, though made by the hand Of man,

Tho log house Is as pretty in its way ~
any seaside cottage. Its exterior Is formed
entirely Of undressed logs, chinkcd with
clay and put together in the style Of our

stand At either end, and q rustic portico
over which the woodbine climbs and
winds itself in and out shields tho front
door from the rays Of the sun. Tho

windows all around 1t, and every part Of

without grazing the walls, and the two
rooms which form the ground floor. the.
dining room and parlor, Gro each eighteen
feet wide and thirty feet long, running
the whole length Of the house. The walls
OF the house ore moro than two feet

building the house that be had to build in

and an interior one which could be plas-
tered and fitted mp with tho convenicpces

PARLOR.


1--WE found" said he, ian old Yankee
woman living in the homestead, and we
took dinner with her. After dinner, in
speaking about relics, the old woman led
us up into the garnet, and we there found
the old windows which are now part Of
that cabinet. That old clock there was
built into the walls Of the house, and there
were a number of other relics that had
belonged to the Palmer family that we
wanted to get. I asked the old woman
what she would take for the lot. She
was standing behind Senator Palmer, and
telegraphcd her son on her fingers, so
that the senator could not see, O Ques-
ton as to how much she ought to ask
She put up five and then ten fingers, but
her boy did not know whether sho meant
$40 or ten cents. Finally telling me that
there we're lots Of relckers' around after
old things now, she said we could have
oil We wanted for go. told her We
would give her e25 il she would box up
tbs things nicely and send them TO De-
troit She did so, and ve had her send
about 1900 trees and vines, which have
been planted here. That old clock was
then full of swallows nests and had not
rum for years. We have had II cleaned
and 1t goes very we'll"
From the portere pole above this cab

licked for years in Senator Palmer's
Grandfather Witherell's family, and which
ticks Just as solemnly now, Is its silver
face looks down upon Palmer's fathers

and his grandfather shaving mirror,
which are piled up beneath It. The In.

Especial Correspondence

The speaker was the most philosophic
member Of tho United States senate. The
place was the big sitting room of his log
house, four miles from Detroit, and his
words were uttered as the cool breeze of
the forest famed our cheeks and went on
to sway the awnings of the pleasure boats
on the beautiful lake at the edge Of tho
lawn. did not wonder at the remark,
for Il there Is q place nearer akin to the
Land Of the Lotus than Senator Palner's
country seat it must be found in other
clines.
Here, almost on the edge Of fashionable
Detrat, he has q farm Of forest and
meadow, the boundary fence of which
must be more than four miles long He
has many acres Of virgin woods covered
with the same trees which formed the
shade Of the Indian chief Pontiac az he
roamed the wilds, and q step from the
cabin will lead you into walks as roman
tic - those Of any cour Try estate of Eng
land and as dense in places rs the jungles
OF India. Senator Palmer can drive here
Tor nine miles through this forest and not
cross the same road twice, aud by touch
ing the whip to his horses can within half

drives and walks have each their names.
and wandered one day through Black
berry hollow. along Nanderson avenue,
and down Sassafras lane to Pontiac's
grave. Upon my saying to the senator
that did not know that Pontiac was
buried here, he replied: mo, know he
was not, but no one knows where he was
buried, and he might as we'll be here as
any place else, and have thus thrown up
this mound for his monument"
This curious phase Of senatorial humor
